I agree with not trusting labels, especially new companies I think. But if companies that have not changed anything want to advertize that their low carb, why not! I love the Planters ad. It notes that nuts are low in carbs and they always have been. They're proud that they didn't have to change anything! And why not! They have a healthy product (of course not the ones with coatings, etc), why shouldn't they be able to advertize it!

“Everyone agrees that (the label) ‘low carb’ is illegal, though I’ve seen a few foods with that,” says Bonnie Liebman, nutrition director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).

Now I have a question about this. I've seen arguements both ways. Is it that the labels are ILLEGAL or that they have NO LEGAL MEANING???? There's a big difference! |
